his brain isn't functioning!!!

In fairness, I don't think it ever did. 

Does Dr Now get kickbacks from the endoscopy manufacturers? I think everyone of these people has gotten an endoscopy this year.

Eating 7000 cal a day, HOW can he be anemic???

Potatoes, rice ( even fraaaaahd rice), butter, gravy.... these do not contain any iron. Just calories.

but isn't that the point of the show? to teach you stuff you probably would never have learned on your own, even if it makes you cringe and heave?  heh

Two words: Feeder porn.

I know, right???  Why did he have to be awake for it?  He's braver than me!

With all that blubber insulating him, he probably never felt a thing

Lisa is still The Queen of the Enablers. She knows darn well how much food she’s bringing to his bedside.

She’s got to actively be trying to kill him now, tears for the camera notwithstanding.

I'm thinking it might be too risky to sedate him at this point, due to his size?

Not eating anything nutritious???? Don't think candy/pizza/fried chicken are fortified with vitamins and iron!

[Caoimhe]

My husband had one done awake, said it wasn’t that bad really.  He didn’t want to spend hours there afterwards.

ITA Wanda. I think that Cynthia, and many others in this show have a very skewed/delusional idea of what a healthy weight is. Didn't she say that she wasn't trying to be thin, just wanted to be able to do more? She probably thinks that 350-400 pounds is just fine.

She probably does.  My guess is most of her family/friends are at least 250+ so she has a skewed perception of what normal is.

I actually got my checkbook balanced early so I can spend tonight knitting, drinking, and hate-watching.  

I need to load my laundry and sort my mail.  Instead, I am spending my time with James and Cynthia. *facepalm*  And y'all. *removes hand from face*

6 minutes ago, Kid said:

He doesn’t have a clue why he did not lose more.

Of course he doesn't.  He thinks he eats hardly anything!

They never stopped the old habits!! Come on Dr. Now! Wake up and smell the coffee!

Or, as overheard from one of my students, wake up and smell the garbage :)

[OoogleEyes]

I  Think Lisa is just trying to kill him at this point.

his lungs, lost in that mass, would not take being sedated. They're working triple time, as it is, along with his heart.

[Donut Bear]

Is James girlfriend a saint or just stupid?  What is she getting out of this relationship?

[Guest]

Oh, god. Lisa's eyebrow situation is dire. She looks like a dark-haired Hatchet Face:

[simba barracuda]

Will he keep losing weight on his own??? I just don’t know!!!

[QuinnInND]

He lost 132 in the hospital. Dr Now is sending him home to see if he can still lose weight. This isn't going to end well.

He is bedbound!  And she sounds like he sneaks out to buy candy behind her back.  They are both delusional.

This is understandable 

 

and i think Dr Now wants to kill them both

[CoachWristletJen]

I think Lisa went from her abusive husband to James. She seems conditioned to take orders from people. Kinda sad.

[Miss Chevious]

No.

[zoemom]

Lisa looks like she could use some help from Dr. Now......

[Colleenna]

OMG Lisa's eye makeup.

[Singingflutist]

Gastroscopies (upper endoscopies) aren't that bad. The worst part is the mouth spray to paralyze your gag reflux. It tastes gross.

WELCOME!

 Do we dare take a drink every time we hear “oh my leg !”??

Absolutely!!!  The 600 Pound Drinking Game is ON!  Also, every time Lisa makes excuses for him...heh heh.

How y’all doin’ tonight?  My eating habit is a homemade peanut butter ice cream sundae with extra sprinkles...dessert for dinner!

[CoachWristletJen]

I wonder if James got sitting up and mobile if he would get physically abusive like Lee and that other a$$hole who broke his wife's finger?

would love to take a look at his will. That aside, she gets to be the "puir brave woman" who stuck with him through thick and... thick, and as such, gets to be as much of a martyr as him when he finally croaks

[Armchair Critic]

No carbs, only salad and vegetables? If he was the pounds would be falling off as big as he is.

[Guest]

OMG, "We've been doing what we're supposed to." STOP SAYING THAT! Saying that doesn't make it TRUE.

It IS like he's eating pizza because THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE'S EATING.

[Pepper Mostly]

Entire sides of beef....

[WhitneyWhit]

My screen is turning brown from all the bullshit coming out of Lisa's mouth.

[Kid]

They are fighting with him! He should just send them home and let him eat himself to death.

[cmpbl]

Dr. Now just stop, they don't get it!

[Threnners]

I bet he means call Adult protective services to get him away from Lisa.

[meat]

"Whatever he's eating, he's eating too much!" Dr. Now, rip into 'em!

[QuinnInND]

Seriously Lisa. Stfu. No way he's eating like you say. Liar liar. 

Dr Now is being fierce! 

[MsVixen]

Y'all catch how James quickly said "All right" to Dr. Now about losing 50 pounds in a month?  Then Lisa reciting what he eats?  This is the Titanic just before the iceberg.

[zoemom]

Is anything Dr. Now is saying sinking in??????  They're both just lying!!!!

Last week i ate three Krispy Kreme donuts! 

Dr. Now doesn't look convinced.

*gasp* How could you possibly know that? Are you a witch??

James is baffled. What could he change? Guys. I just can't.

It’s very similar to women who marry men who have life sentences in prison. They know the men can’t actively leave them.

[Hellga]

Definitely the latter.  A saint wouldn't enable evil.

[CouchTater]

James and Lisa are fascinating.  You know, before my weight loss surgery I had to go through psychological testing to verify my capacity to understand the concepts and follow through on all the steps and processes I had to follow for my new stomach.  I don't think these 2 have the capacity to fully grasp what's being expected of them.

I hope they don't go back to Cynthia.

[BuddhaBelly]

Skin surgery! Is she nuts?

it's well practiced, from years of experience.

[Armchair Critic]

"Challenge accepted". You would think already embarrassing himself on tv plus his poor health would have motivate him before.
